Situated in Mapleton township this exceptional former horse property has held its heart as the town grew around it. The original cottage built sometime in the early 1900s has seen many changes except within its own boundaries. The old dairy shed, large horse stable and holding yard fences are just hanging on, but offer a reminder of times past. A second dwelling was added in 1990 and offers spacious, cool, comfortable living and wonderful east facing views across the land. A large slow combustion fireplace will be welcome in winter.

Gently sloping and level areas flow down to the adjoining lakes and open fields. The tree lined dam is supported by the old well which for countless years has provided consistent clean fresh water for all uses around the property. This well water is pumped right up to the house and sheds some 250 meters away. New fences would be required for horses now, as well as new stables. Or the motivated may be able to restore the old stables with a new roof and other works. Some of the legendary horses which loved the open paddocks were Timmy, Gaylad, Panda and Tush. Their named stall gates are still there. There are many horse trails in the nearby Mapleton State Forest.

A small portion of the property was planted with a range of specimen trees creating a hint of rainforest under the Bunya and Hoop Pines. Other areas have majestic gums which are maintained on the ground for animals to roam in the shade. It truly is a magnificent block the likes of which we really don't expect to find at all, let alone just a stroll down the path to the village.

Given the property's rural zoning there are many income producing opportunities here. Of course, it can become your own spelling farm, or develop the land and cottage for horse farm stays. The land will suit all animal species with no wet, soft, or steep areas. The amazing Mountain topsoils, endless water supply and open sunny paddocks would be ideal for all manner of horticulture. We can also see a first class wedding venue here, or develop a retreat for guests with many picturesque building sites. Wireless NBN showing speeds of around 75 MBS are a welcome benefit to support your business.
